@iwillnevergrowup said in Can an Axis and Allies -style US Civil War game actually work?:

It absolutely can work, and work well.

Robert Otto created one in May 2022 called Total Civil War 1861-1865 and had it produced in limited quantities as a full boxed set … but at $350 a copy it was expensive (though considering only about 50 … maybe 100 … were printed, it makes sense to me (as a publisher)).

Unfortunately I don’t think he plans on doing it again and the website he had for taking orders is no longer available.

As for why it wasn’t released by MB/Wizards/Et.al. is probably because of a lower demand (even if only perceived) vs other projects. They also pretty much abandoned anything new or novel for the line quite a long time ago and just updated or tweaked and rehashed everything repeatedly. Their last great ‘innovation’ was A&A Zombies. Now that it’s in the hands of Renegade Games, who knows; they’re more open to new games.

Yes it can as will stated. I do have the game

@redrum Sounds about right. I’ve never played the original though.

Thanks Private Panic. I just did that.

I still can’t bring myself to buy a Risk game. I’ll stick with my Battles of Westeros I guess.

Just bought this and it’s predecessor 1812: Invasion of Canada. Both great games, I recommend them both!

Note: this is a fantasy game.

I’ve thought about using it in AAE, but then I relized that I could only use the small infintrie type units as most others (Tanks mostly) were too large to fit in 1 teritoirie.

That’d be in interesting thing to do though, you’d have to have quit a few AAM though.
